The TightArses forwards will definitely struggle without Luke Bailey. Yes they have other guys like Laffranchi who can step in, but they will certainly miss Bailey's influence and experience. Of course it will also hurt their halves, who won't have as much space to work in...IMO Prince hasn't been as consistently good throughout this year as he has in others. He's played well in some games, but in others he has been fairly ordinary...there was one game recently (I can't remember which one) where his kicking game was particularly poor...

A lot of times when we play ex Storm players, they score trys.  Let just hope that the five ex players don't score this weekend. Nathan Friend has never scored a first grade try, he better not start this week end

Don't worry Ratty, Storm will pile that many points on the Titans that the refs won't be able to affect the result, except maybe preventing us reaching 50. ;)

been waiting all year for this game, hence my user title.  Bring it on Titans and you'll be hit with the Thunderbolt of Zeus aka Cam Smith.

We should definently win this. I think Jake Webster will regret leaving Melbourne. He hasn't had the best season so far. Also, I'm glad they didn't get Turner. We was worth the fight it took to keep him. Poor Titans, can't win their own games, so they need our players to do it for them.

Sunday 4pm (1v8)

Saturday would have been if we'd been 2nd (2v7).  Manly locked up that game with their loss last week.

I expect they will struggle for motivation. Storm to win 50 points to 4.

KimmorleyKiller stat:

Everyone in the backline scored.

And we rule, also.

I for one think the $200000 should be split between members!

I really have to say that the only way that Boofa played at that kick from Orford was if he cracked a fat.
